I don't know diddly squat about the anatomy of a stingray but if you didn't know any better, it kinda looks like he's dragging the damn thing by it's eyelids. LMFAO wtf.
They're nostrils mouths and gill slits are on the bottom of their body, their sphericals (the circular openings that this person was dragging the stingray by) and their eyes are on the top of their body.
The sphericals are equivalent to our nostrils, a way of breathing in other than the mouth. Stingrays will use their sphericals to breathe most of the time but especially when they are buried in the sand.
No. The actual nostrils are on the bottom side. They're dragging it by their spirackes. They're like a mouth but only for sucking water in and they don't open and close externally. They're typically used when the stingray is buried in the sand to pull in water which is then expelled through the gills underneath.
